In Japan they're replacing the booth babes with JSDF recruitment booths because of recent actions from North Korea and China.
So its not just the west that got rid of them.
be careful what you wish for. the homosexuals who run this shit now will have transvestites flopping their wieners in front of your kids before bringing back attractive women
booth babes are not what made E3 famous, but they were a canary in the coal mine for the health and popularity of E3. once they were removed it was clear that the wrong sort of "people" (moronic subhuman liberal feminists) had gained too much control in the industry and that things were only going to get worse until E3 faded from relevancy entirely.
>What happened?
Corporate greed. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc. don't want to participate in something like E3, because they would have to "share the stage" so to speak. They would much rather have each their own thing, where their products aren't pitted against each other directly.
>Corporate greed. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc. don't want to participate in something like E3
They share a stage in other events just fine, the problem with E3 is the ESA guidelines, which pissed all the major platforms off, they don’t want to follow their stupidity.
Literally nothing big is ever shown at Gamescon nor does most care about it, and TGS is even more soulless with Hollywood actors who have nothing to do with games and showing literal movie trailers.
>What happened?
Covid happened and shut down E3, and it showed everybody that used to be involved with it that it is 100% unnecessary in order to market their products.
The other thing is that it's expensive and requires a lot of work to participate in E3, especially before covid when these companies needed to fly in sports cars, booth babes, inflatable ball pits, and giraffes. Nobody wants to do that anymore.
>Sony Interactive Entertainment has not participated at an E3 since E3 2018
Oh yeah, that's the year sony had that homosexual skin flute player take up most of their showcase and then got embarrassed from showing up at E3 again.
E3 has been nothing but a corpse for years. The worst move they made was making it only open for media and those like them. Also Directs and Showcases are infinitely better than wasting time, money, and resources on something like this.
E3 is obsolete anyway. You can just stream your conferences now. There's almost no benefit to having a physical event, especially when they're all just going to be industry people and journalists.
>especially when they're all just going to be industry people and journalists.
This was the biggest shot in the dick, ass, heart and head E3 took and I still don't understand why this did it.
E3 used to be fun because companies would either reveal something you were actually interested in or someone would embarrass themselves royally. Now people reveal and/or shadowdrop new games on any given day and people get defensive on social media if you make fun of someone who acted like a doofus in public. So what are trade shows like this for anymore?
You all know that Capcom will still be here. Capcom, Sega, SNK is probably going to be here, Bandai Namco, etc. This is still going to be a huge event, just now it's going to be all about the 3rd parties.
>Nintendo gearing up for a 20 million production run for Switches in FY2023, its seventh goddamn year on market >but apparently have no new games of import left after TotK and Pikmin 4 >with no official hardware price drops yet either >and signs pointing to the next Nintendo platform still being years away
Christ. The Switch is going to be a zombie console for the next few years. No more major releases, but no successor system in sight either.
I always loved talking about it with friends and shitposting about it on Ganker and seeing everyone's reactions to all the weird shit at the conferences, it was like the gaming superbowl. This sucks man
>become nothing but soulless hardware shilling extravaganza >only people physically at the event are jurnos >nobody takes jurnos seriously anymore >no reason to go to E3
wow maybe cancelling E3 2022 only served to make the venue look weak and useless even more so than before. Why in the hell did they do that shit anyway? Even lefty journalists were calling bullshit on E3 using COVID as an excuse to initially make the event digital-only; and that was in January, before the Ukraine conflict magically ended COVID in America.
>companies get people to spend over $5000 on next gen consoles >release no games
Nobody thought we would be back to the days of ET on Atari, yet here we are.
I like when morons say "it's too big to fail" yet ignored they were in the middle of the crash when it comes about creativity, now it's getting closer to the economic one with ocassional implosions here and there. Maybe there is hope.
no games
This is the biggest problem with the console scene right now. There just aren't any games, let alone exclusives that would warrant buying one console over another. Compare the PS2 library to the PS5 for example.
E3 around 2000 had dozens if not hundreds of developers, booths, and games on showcase PER console. How many did it have last year, like 10 big reveals total across every console, if that? And they were all multiplat anyway so who cares.

The T239/Drake reports are true.
Oh yeah, that exists.
Remember when E3 has booth babes.
Me member.
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST GET PAID TO SHOW OFF YOUR SEXY BODY BECAUSE...YOU CAN'T OKAY
Society will not show signs of healing until booth babes return.
Booth babes will never return in America.
American here, if any nation wants to ravage the west coast I doubt many of use will care. Hell, some might celebrate. Just putting that out there.
That's a good start, but there's plenty other targets that need a good ravaging while we're at it.
>Colorado
>Austin, TX (it's literally become Little California with how many tax refugees fled from CA)
>pretty much the entire east coast down to North Carolina (sorry NC but the northern carpetbaggers quickly ruined you)
Apparently, booth babes are in everywhere except America and Western Europe.
In Japan they're replacing the booth babes with JSDF recruitment booths because of recent actions from North Korea and China.
So its not just the west that got rid of them.
it has to come crashing down before we can rebuild
be careful what you wish for. the homosexuals who run this shit now will have transvestites flopping their wieners in front of your kids before bringing back attractive women
booth babes are not what made E3 famous, but they were a canary in the coal mine for the health and popularity of E3. once they were removed it was clear that the wrong sort of "people" (moronic subhuman liberal feminists) had gained too much control in the industry and that things were only going to get worse until E3 faded from relevancy entirely.
>It's just you bro buy the 80 dollar standard edition digital copy and be happy
E3 is nothing without the big three though? no one tunes in for Konami or indie shit
Gamescom and TGS are now bigger than E3.
What happened?
>What happened?
Corporate greed. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc. don't want to participate in something like E3, because they would have to "share the stage" so to speak. They would much rather have each their own thing, where their products aren't pitted against each other directly.
We literally see how everything corporate degenerate, holy shit.
You can kinda mostly blame social media for this too.
>Corporate greed. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc. don't want to participate in something like E3
They share a stage in other events just fine, the problem with E3 is the ESA guidelines, which pissed all the major platforms off, they don’t want to follow their stupidity.
>the problem with E3 is the ESA guidelines
What's wrong with it?
Tell me the Nintendo Direct + Treehouse + Live Demos on the game floor wasn't the best combo though.
I'm going to miss all of that.
>What happened?
>Corporate greed.
Literally nothing big is ever shown at Gamescon nor does most care about it, and TGS is even more soulless with Hollywood actors who have nothing to do with games and showing literal movie trailers.
you're thinking of The Geoff Awards, anon was referring to Tokyo Games Show
>What happened?
Covid happened and shut down E3, and it showed everybody that used to be involved with it that it is 100% unnecessary in order to market their products.
The other thing is that it's expensive and requires a lot of work to participate in E3, especially before covid when these companies needed to fly in sports cars, booth babes, inflatable ball pits, and giraffes. Nobody wants to do that anymore.
Digital events are better, but watching all the live cringe alongside Ganker was always a treat. It became too corporate and less fun.
It's the same marketing shit, but live events give more chances for them fricking up and memes.
Gaming is dead.
>convenient for press and even consumers
I like how the consumers are an afterthought. Really sums up the state of the industry.
>Sony Interactive Entertainment has not participated at an E3 since E3 2018
Oh yeah, that's the year sony had that homosexual skin flute player take up most of their showcase and then got embarrassed from showing up at E3 again.
Don't forget that they had to take a break after showing Last of Us 2 because they had to switch venues after 1 trailer.
Flute guy was kino.
That shit was dumb but at least Testerbros got to see Meredith while they were moving venues.
>Sony showed that shit and had a commercial break
>people on Ganker still said they had the best presentation.
Weren't there multiple breaks? For each trailer they had to bring people into different rooms.
Not people, snoys. And they aren't people.
Good. E3 stopped being about the consumers and games long ago thanks to layerman.
E3 has been nothing but a corpse for years. The worst move they made was making it only open for media and those like them. Also Directs and Showcases are infinitely better than wasting time, money, and resources on something like this.
E3 hasn't been relevant in a long time. They only showed up for the cringe and the game awards has kinda replaced that at the moment.
E3 is obsolete anyway. You can just stream your conferences now. There's almost no benefit to having a physical event, especially when they're all just going to be industry people and journalists.
>especially when they're all just going to be industry people and journalists.
This was the biggest shot in the dick, ass, heart and head E3 took and I still don't understand why this did it.
For frick's sake the conferences have NOTHING to do with E3.
>single handedly destroys game company's trust in the consumer pandering corpo
This was the peak of these live shows, it's all downhill from here. No fun allowed.
E3 used to be fun because companies would either reveal something you were actually interested in or someone would embarrass themselves royally. Now people reveal and/or shadowdrop new games on any given day and people get defensive on social media if you make fun of someone who acted like a doofus in public. So what are trade shows like this for anymore?
You all know that Capcom will still be here. Capcom, Sega, SNK is probably going to be here, Bandai Namco, etc. This is still going to be a huge event, just now it's going to be all about the 3rd parties.
What the frick is redpoop?
Who cares? They banned baiting men with attractive women on site more than 10 years ago. It should've died much earlier than that.
>E3 but nobody shows up
So like every year?
>Nintendo will now have zero news between Febuary and September again
Gee, can't wait.
They didn't reveal anything worthwhile anyways. They don't even do directs anymore.
>Nintendo gearing up for a 20 million production run for Switches in FY2023, its seventh goddamn year on market
>but apparently have no new games of import left after TotK and Pikmin 4
>with no official hardware price drops yet either
>and signs pointing to the next Nintendo platform still being years away
Christ. The Switch is going to be a zombie console for the next few years. No more major releases, but no successor system in sight either.
T239/Drake will like to have a word with you, Nintendo is just clearing out stock.
Sad. I always enjoy E3 and watching with you guys so much.
I always loved talking about it with friends and shitposting about it on Ganker and seeing everyone's reactions to all the weird shit at the conferences, it was like the gaming superbowl. This sucks man
>become nothing but soulless hardware shilling extravaganza
>only people physically at the event are jurnos
>nobody takes jurnos seriously anymore
>no reason to go to E3
Its been dead for years. Ever since they got rid of booth babes and corporatized it.
wow maybe cancelling E3 2022 only served to make the venue look weak and useless even more so than before. Why in the hell did they do that shit anyway? Even lefty journalists were calling bullshit on E3 using COVID as an excuse to initially make the event digital-only; and that was in January, before the Ukraine conflict magically ended COVID in America.
Nintendo pulled out and showed recorded events was waaaaaay less of a shit show so Sony did the same thing and now Microsoft
There's really no reason to do stage shows anymore
>companies get people to spend over $5000 on next gen consoles
>release no games
Nobody thought we would be back to the days of ET on Atari, yet here we are.
